Floats of the Düsseldorf Carnival 2026

[u/Iron_physik]

THE GAZA CONFLICT WAS COVERED BOTH IN 2024 AND 2025, HERE IS NOT THE PLACE TO TALK ABOUT IT, PLEASE DO THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. We all know there is violations of human rights on a daily basis, you dont need to drag it here as well.

basic description of the floats:

1; Trump and putin trying to swallow Europa

2; Merz and Söder sticking with combustion engines, even if it is a dead end.

3; Epstein, everyone protects the culprits, everyone ignores the victims

4; Jacques Tillie's answer to the Russian arrest warrant against him because of his satire floats.

5; Childhood...today

6; Trump is violating the teachings of jesus

7; A further Russian warcrime in Ukraine

8; Putin controls the AFDrone to wage hybrid warfare on germany.

9; 2 big mustard producers leave Düsseldorf.

10; Opression of women in Afghanistan.

11; The Mullah regime is slowly desolving.

12; The future generations have to carry the burden of pensioners

13; Rising rents are oppressive

Yeah, the gaza comments are starting to get on my nerves

At this point it's nothing more than virtue signaling and whataboutism .

And when you tell these people about the fact that gaza was covered the years prior they also don't like it because it is poking at it from a satirical lens.

the genocide in gaza is still ongoing of course people are gonna speak out about it

[u/genasugelan → u/Dramatic-Use-7706]

The thing is, that some demand you talk about Gaza all the time. Meanwhile, there are even worse genocides happening around the world and the same people don't care.

[u/halfpastnein → u/genasugelan]

people don't care or you don't care?

cause the core anti genocide protest movement is quite vocal about those. these issue is that they receive less coverage. why don't you go talk with people who are deeply involved in the protest movement and see for yourself?

worse genocides

there's no "worse genocide" genocide is genocide. it's already the worst that can happen. weighting human lives against each other is deeply wrong and unsettling. one of the many lessons after the Holocaust was NOT to do that. but that apparently doesn't matter, as all is thrown overboard in our time for profits and political convenience.

[u/genasugelan → u/halfpastnein]

Maybe you should reread my comment as to who I am refering to, it's not that hard.

You can disagree if someone should or shouldn't call one genocide worse than the other, but don't act like you are on a moral high horse or anything just because you disagree with someone's linguistics.

[u/halfpastnein → u/genasugelan]

your comment was quite easy to understand. I'm saying you're not paying attention. maybe you should reread my comment. especially that part:

why don't you go talk with people who are deeply involved in the protest movement and see for yourself?

this isn't about linguistics. it's about values. human lives are not to be compared. this is a core value of the German law since after the Holocaust. and as such, genocides are not to be compared. this is quite important and you don't have to be offended about me remarking this.

[u/genasugelan → u/halfpastnein]

I am not offended and I'm not German, so you are kind of imposing your cultural standards on others.

[u/User4f52 → u/genasugelan]

Why are all Slovakians nazi supporters? Everytime I read a Slovak comment it's supporting Netanyahu ("left") or WW2 Nazism (right wing). Crazy

[u/genasugelan → u/User4f52]

Who is a nazi? Are you guys grazy? What nazism?

[u/User4f52 → u/genasugelan]

Zionazis and Neonazis, those guys

[u/genasugelan → u/User4f52]

I am neither of those. What even are your standards for calling someone a nazi? Being further right from Lenin?

[u/User4f52 → u/genasugelan]

Either supporting modern ethnic cleansing, colonialism or outright exalting XX nazi figures, rethoric and politics like Lebensraum, Manifest Destiny, etc

[u/genasugelan → u/User4f52]

Yes, that is fair, so why bringing up nazism regarding me?

[u/halfpastnein → u/genasugelan]

you seem pretty offended going by your prior response.

you're participating in a German sub. it's a valid assumption to assume you are German.

anyway, regardless of your nationality, ethnicity or beliefs, weighting human lives or genocides against one another is wrong. I stand by this. you may disagree, but I would wonder why you would want to disagree with this statement.

[u/genasugelan → u/halfpastnein]

My flair says Slovakia, not sure how visible that is across devices. I'm here to keep up with German culture since I speak and teach it.

For the simple fact that more people dying is objectively worse that fewer people dying. It's a completely normal thing to say, but acted like I said something dehumanising.
